Cultivation World 14 Take a Big Order
"This is already the second wave of lost formations along the way."
Xie Yunsui walked out of the range of the formation and looked back. The seemingly ordinary forest path was not so easy to walk on.
"To prevent the hunters down the mountain from accidentally taking the wrong path, the Pavilion Master specially asked someone to lay out the path."
Ling Xiyuan explained that after passing through two formations, the road was smooth and he signaled Xie Yunsui to speed up.
Hengwu Pavilion is located in Yanli Mountain. The mountain is rich in spiritual energy, there are not many villages and towns around, and there is no disturbance from evil demons. It is naturally a Feng Shui treasure land.
Xie Yunsui walked across two foundations in succession and swept past the gap.
Ling Xiyuan followed his gaze and said with a smile, "Senior Brother said this is the core of the mountain protection formation. It can be activated by inserting a spirit stone. However, it hasn't been used for nearly a hundred years. Now this is... to save the sect's resources."
Xie Yunsui nodded. Even the mountain protection formation didn't have spirit stones to maintain it. It seemed that the sect had a big financial gap.
He first went to complete Qi Yangqiu's formation order, which took half a day. After completing it, Ling Xiyuan took Xie Yunsui back to the place where he had lived for more than ten years.
After crossing two stone bridges, behind a thousand-year-old pine tree is Ling Xiyuan’s cottage.
The cottage made of green bamboo is elegant. There is a small pond in the front yard. There are two trees planted beside the pond, one apricot tree and one pear tree.
"My place is rather simple. Can you help me see how many spiritual plants I can grow?"
Ling Xiyuan planned to plant all the spiritual plants in the front and back yards, and then give all the spiritual plants he grew to Xie Yunsui.
"You are far away from the main hall and very secluded." Xie Yunsui listened carefully. Unlike Qi Yangqiu's place, he could always hear the magical sounds of the new disciples practicing music.
Ling Xiyuan said, "I was lucky when I entered the cabinet and was assigned here."
He smiled and said, "You don't know. I was young then and thought I was not popular, so I stayed away from them. After I grew up a little, I found that living here allowed me to practice music in peace and without being disturbed. Many of my fellow apprentices envied me for the quiet here."
"Well, this place is great, but it would be a shame to use it all to grow spiritual plants." Xie Yunsui pointed to the pond in the front yard. "Why not build an open pavilion here and put a few fish in the pond so we can enjoy them on weekdays and catch them to eat when they grow up. There aren't many fruit trees here, so if we plant a few more, we'll have plenty of fruit to eat all year round."
His words revealed his intention to live and do business here permanently.
Ling Xiyuan looked at him blankly: "Would you like to live with me in the mountains?"
"It's only half an hour's walk up and down the mountain. We can stay wherever we want. You have a seat at the foot of the mountain, so don't you have one for me on the mountain?" Xie Yunsui said.
Ling Xiyuan pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes."
The bamboo house, which had been emptied of most of the daily necessities, was now filled with new things: music scores on the bookshelf, a fruit plate on the long table, new clothes in the cabinet, and even a peach blossom decoration in the flowerpot under the window. It gave the house a more lively atmosphere than when Ling Xiyuan lived here alone before.
Ling Xiyuan looked around like a guest who was visiting here for the first time.
Xie Yunsui was satisfied with everything here, except the small bed which was only one and two meters wide. After seeking Ling Xiyuan's consent, he decisively replaced it with a two-meter bed.
“Senior Brother!”
"Senior Brother Ling!"
"Junior Brother Xiyuan..."
Several people gathered together, and the one leading them was Qingwen.
Ling Xiyuan walked out the door: "Are you looking for me?"
Qingwen's eyes lit up when he saw Xie Yunsui busying around in the house: "Brother Xie hasn't left yet?"
Xie Yunsui leaned forward and spoke gently, "Greetings, fellow disciples."
A senior sister returned the gift and then said, "We just came from Yang Qiu's place. It turns out that Boss Xie knows about formations. I wonder if he could set one up for us?"
Qing Wen shouted: "Spirit stones are not a problem!"
The people behind all had expressions like chickens pecking at rice.
Xie Yunsui: "..."
Okay, I'll sell anything as long as I can earn spirit stones.
Ling Xiyuan's consciousness moved, and he received the secret message from Elder Zhu Ling. He looked at Xie Yunsui in panic.
Xie Yunsui noticed: "What's wrong?"
"Elder Zhu Ling found out that you set up the spirit gathering array for Senior Brother Qi, and he asked me to take you to see him." Ling Xiyuan said.
Qing Wen flinched. "Elder Zhu Ling? She never likes to talk to us. Why did she specifically call Big Brother Xie? Is she going to scold him... No, no, she probably can't control Big Brother Xie."
Several fellow disciples were also worried: "Elder Zhu Ling is always strict, don't make her angry."
"Then our spirit gathering array..."
The senior sister wasn't so nervous. She advised, "Elder Zhu Ling is in charge of the sect's internal affairs and wouldn't normally summon us unless there's something important. I think he has something important to discuss. Perhaps he heard that Boss Xie opened an alchemy shop and wants to purchase elixirs in the sect's name?"
Ling Xiyuan also said: "Although Elder Zhu Ling didn't mention it, I heard her voice was quite calm."
Xie Yunsui was not panicking at all. He had known in advance that in addition to a Pavilion Master who was in the late Nascent Soul stage, there were two other elders in Hengwu Pavilion, one in the early Nascent Soul stage and the other in the late Golden Core stage. This Elder Zhu Ling was in the early Nascent Soul stage.
If a powerful person in the Nascent Soul stage wanted to cause trouble for him, just the pressure of his mental power would be enough to deter him. There would be no need for such a roundabout way as summoning his disciples.
Ling Xiyuan was also confused because of his concern.
Xie Yunsui said, "Then let's go visit Elder Zhu first, and then we can discuss the spirit gathering array."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Ling wanted to talk to them about the spirit gathering array.
"To be honest, looking for a formation master to set up a mountain protection formation cost Old Song all his years of accumulation."
Zhu Ling was much gentler than Xie Yunsui had imagined, but her unconcealable aura made it clear that she was indeed a Yuanying powerhouse who could not be provoked.
The Old Song she was referring to was naturally the Pavilion Master Song Lehe, a man who had founded a sect many years ago and still worked diligently to gain experience and earn spirit stones to support the sect.
Zhu Ling is stationed at Hengwu Pavilion, in charge of all the sect's internal affairs. In fact, he has more of the style of a sect leader than the pavilion master.
"For so many years, we have also wanted to set up a spirit gathering array for our disciples to facilitate their cultivation, but money is too tight. Now that we have saved some money, we can't contact the array master."
Her gaze stopped at Xie Yunsui, and she said slowly, "I saw the five spirit gathering arrays you set up in Yangqiu Courtyard today. You were very skilled. Are you his disciple..."
Xie Yunsui replied, "I was lucky enough to get a manual on formation techniques and I studied it on my own."
He was indeed right, it was given by Xie Yan.
This favored child of destiny, who had been doing smoothly for the past twenty years, received many rewards, some of which he himself had forgotten. When teaching the methods of refining weapons, he just stuffed all the secret jade slips into Xie Yunsui's hands.
Inside there is a copy of a secret book of Xuan-level formations, which should have been obtained from the Qingyan Sect.
The formations of protection, attack, and defense that Xie Yunsui had studied before were all learned from the Western fantasy world, using the energy in the magic crystal. Later, with the zombie crystal cores of the end of the world, he adjusted his formation method. Generally speaking, it was not difficult.
This time was the same. Although the methods were different, it was ultimately about the use of energy. Xie Yunsui quickly adjusted his formation concept to make it more in line with the world of cultivation.
So this spirit gathering array does not look like it was just learned.
Zhu Ling looked at him steadily, as if trying to figure out whether he was lying or really didn't want to talk about his master.
Nowadays, when traveling in the continent of cultivation, the family, sect, and master behind you are very important, and sometimes they can even determine your life.
She thought about his last name, was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and seriously discussed asking Xie Yunsui to set up several training rooms for the entire sect.
She didn't care about those rich disciples who wanted to set up spirit gathering arrays in their bedrooms, but she couldn't just watch those poor disciples fall behind again and again. The sect still had some wealth gained by the Pavilion Master selling himself (crossed out) to gain experience, so it was still possible to set up a few training rooms.
As he was speaking, another elder from Qinghe came over after hearing the noise: "I just went to Yang Qiu's yard and saw him. I think his idea of growing spiritual plants to exchange for medicinal pills is a good one..."
During the time Xie Yunsui was having this meal, he received a large order from Hengwu Pavilion, including but not limited to setting up training rooms, opening up a sect to plan and cultivate spiritual plants, and spiritual plant cultivation classes... It almost emptied the Hengwu Pavilion's funds.
He was honored to be given the title of guest elder of Hengwu Pavilion, and from then on he could enter and leave Hengwu Pavilion freely.
The medicines in Xie Yunsui Danfang were almost all purchased by the disciples in the pavilion, so he simply closed the shop for two months and lived in the mountains the whole time to plan and renovate the shop.
There was no need to worry about the location of the training room. Xie Yunsui had already decided to connect it to the mountain protection formation to support the formation.
It is not easy to choose a place to plant spiritual plants. Spiritual plants need spiritual energy to grow. If a large area is covered with spiritual gathering formations, it will be a waste of time and money. The money earned from selling spiritual plants is not enough to offset the spiritual stones consumed.
If a smaller one was built, it wouldn't be enough for Zhao Ying to use, let alone sell.
"It's best to have a flat surface, with a minimal slope, and abundant spiritual energy. The more abundant the spiritual energy, the shorter the growth period for spiritual plants..."
Listening to Xie Yunsui's request, Zhu Ling thought of a place. There was only one place with the most abundant spiritual energy in Yanli Mountain.
-
Song Lehe came back in a hurry last time, leaving some spirit stones and magic tools before going out again. This time, he had only been training for three months when he was urged to come back by Zhu Ling. He had no choice but to get rid of the monster in his hand, collecting all the fur, bones and flesh, and selling them in batches to familiar weapon masters and spiritual food buildings, and taking the spirit stones back to the sect.
He returned with his zither, and when he reached the sect's entrance, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
How did the mountain protection formation start?
He quickly found Zhu Ling's location, appeared in front of her, and asked, "During the time I was away, have any demonic cultivators or evil spirits invaded?"
Zhu Ling raised her eyelids and glanced at him, saying, "There are no demonic cultivators, nor any evil spirits. Everything in the sect is fine. If you're talking about the mountain protection formation, here it is."
She handed over a picture, Song Lehe took it and looked at it for a while.
"...Isn't this the diagram of the mountain protection formation?"
Zhu Ling knew he didn't understand, so she said directly, "While you were away, I had someone build a training room in the pavilion and stacked a few spirit gathering formations. It happened to be located at the center of several large mountain protection formations. Xie Yunsui said that in order for the spirit gathering formations to be most effective, the mountain protection formations must be open, and these training rooms can also feed back to the mountain protection formations."
Song Lehe understood.
Zhu Ling said: "In short, activating the mountain protection formation now will not only save a lot of spirit stones, but also allow the sect disciples to practice better."
Song Lehe said, "You haven't told me why you called me back yet?"
"Ahem." Zhu Ling's gaze shifted for a moment, and his voice gradually faded. "Qinghe and I have discussed this. Our sect has never had a profitable project. This time, taking advantage of the new alchemy workshop at the foot of the mountain, we decided to open up a spiritual plant field in the pavilion to grow spiritual plants. There happens to be an alchemy cultivator in the pavilion, so we should cultivate him well."
Song Lehe nodded: "It's Zhao Ying, right? She really should be trained well. I have no objection."
Zhu Ling: "To plant spiritual plants, you need to choose a good place with abundant spiritual energy, and the land must be flat and easy to care for..."
Song Lehe gradually had a bad feeling.
Zhu Ling spread his hands and said, "In the entire sect, the mountain you opened up is the flattest and has the most abundant spiritual energy."
Song Lehe blinked.
After a while, a roar echoed throughout the sect from Elder Zhu Ling:
"You demolished my house?!"
